Like many of the beer creations from Flügge, Sieke & Ole is a true beer specialty. To make it, a sour beer in the style of a Berliner Weisse is taken and mixed with a wine. The wine used is an orange from the winner vine, which grows on winemaker Daniel Mattern's winery and is pressed by him. A Belgian seasonal yeast ferments the two basic ingredients and creates an exceptional beer with great character.
Sieke & Ole present themselves naturally cloudy. The beer flows into the glass the color of sun-dried straw and forms a small head of foam, which is fed by lively, almost tangy carbon dioxide. A fresh scent of lime, orange peel and yeast mixes with tangy white grapes on the nose. The taste is initially sour, a palette of fruit follows the first impression. Sieke & Ole is a fruity beer that is wonderfully refreshing.
Even though Sieke & Ole has passed its best before date, you can still enjoy the beer. Instead of going bad, the beer-wine hybrid actually gains in flavor and depth over time. To be absolutely sure, we consulted brewer Jo and he confirmed the safety and the increase in aroma and complexity. There are countless beers that can be stored for years. Barrel-aged beers, for example, are often several years old when you enjoy them, and beer specialties like Old Django from Nikl are designed so that you can let them mature at home.
